Who can teach me buddhism?

I would like to be buddhist but I don't have much time to go to one of the few temples there are in London. I have a buddhist teacher in school. Is he allowed to teach me the buddhist way? Is it against any rules?

If there is any one that lives in London out there please could you tell me places where a 14 year old such as I could go? Please don't hesitate to email me.
(I'm not sure if I put this in the right category)

I am pretty new myself so I'll let some of the other members answer your questions in more depth. I'm pretty sure your Buddhist teacher could teach you, just make sure you're getting accurate information. I don't believe there are any rules to who can and can't teach you.

There is a plethora of information on the internet as well that may help and books as well. You can go to the thread about Buddhists books and get a list there. Personally, I would start with "The Mind & The Way" by Ajahn Sumedho. This book really helped me understand some complex concepts that I was struggling with.

Not sure if anyone here is from London but there are many from the U.K.

Good Luck!
